OTHER COOL THINGS is the blog page where I go off topic. In other words, this is a page where I ramble about a wide variety of subjects which have nothing to do with the Cross House restoration or Emporia.
OTHER COOL THINGS is where I might suggest a great new restaurant. Or a movie I enjoyed, or book. Or a favored blog.
OTHER COOL THINGS may — fasten your seat belt — open discussions about dangerous subjects such politics or religion.
OTHER COOL THINGS will, in short, be a page where I ramble about anything which captures my special attention. Like, perhaps, a nice moment I had with my favorite cat Gilda.
I love comments, so please do not hesitate to toss your two cents in, even if you disagree with me.
My blog posts are below. Enjoy!
Another Detroit Rebirth
As I was born in Detroit (a 1957 model), I like keeping up with my birth city. For four decades the magnificent Michigan Central Station sat empty and ruined; the poster child for all that was wrong with the city. Then in 2018, Ford stunned everybody by announcing their purchase of the wholly derelict building…

Last night, a strange and, no doubt, vicious creature got into my office. I’m please to report that I survived, unscathed.

This is a political post. If interested, please scroll down. I read electoral-vote.com daily. They are very astute. I love their observations. But the other day they basically dismissed Biden because of his his dabate performance. I was shocked….

This is a political post. If interested, please scroll down. With the media in an unprecedented frenzy of bashing the democratic candidate (while giving a free pass to the other guy, you know, the felon), this is a welcome surprise: …

She arrived in my life, totally unexpectedly, one day in early 1999. My dear friend Christina (who lived across the street) and I were talking in my driveway when a tiny kitten, perhaps just five-weeks-old, scurried up to me, stood at my feet, and meowed. Loudly. I picked up the tiny furry thing. Where had…

I will email this to Joe Biden tomorrow. Any thoughts, suggestions? Please scroll down if interested: Dear President Biden, I’m a (kinda) average American, 67-years-old, born in Detroit, and now living in rural Kansas. During the 2020…

New Kitty very graciously helped polish some old chandelier chains. Then she conked out. Perhaps I shouldn’t work her so hard?

For most of my adult life, I was a 3-cat person. That doesn’t make one an official Crazy Cat Person. But, as y’all know, a while back, I saved 3 sets of kittens, a total of 14 new cats in my life. And, thus, earning me the crown. One set of five I found in…
